Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Co-operative Societies Bill 2022: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Mr. John Shine:

It is down to the rules. The fact is that it is up to the members to be as prescriptive or not as they want to be in respect of a lot of matters. They may want to be very prescriptive, in which case they will put it into their rules; in other situations they may be completely silent on a matter. It depends how far they want to go.
